23. In relation to article 4 of the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation, some delegations were in favour of the inclusion in article 4, paragraph 1, of straits used for international navigation. Other delegations pointed out that it was unnecessary to include them since navigation in such straits was one of the situations envisaged in article 4, paragraph 1. Therefore the Convention will apply in straits used for international navigation, without prejudice to the legal status of the waters forming such straits in accordance with relevant conventions and other rules of international law.
24. This Final Act is established in a single original text in the Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish languages. The original text is to be deposited with the Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization.
25. The Secretary-General shall send certified copies of this Final Act and certified copies of the authentic texts of the instruments referred to in paragraph 22 above to the Governments of the States invited to be represented at the Conference, in accordance with the wishes of those Governments.
In witness whereof the undersigned have affixed their signature to this Final Act.
Done at Rome this tenth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and eighty-eight.
